The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for preparing breads and firm vegetables like potatoes and corn. The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping cooked foods warm. Direct [] Cooking

The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill Lid to be open. This method is ideal for searing, grilling, deep frying and whenever you want foods to have an open-flame barbecued taste.

Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill. Never lean over cooking areas while using grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing or other parts while grill is in operation, or until the grill has cooled down after use.

Foods that work best with direct heat are relatively soft and require a short cooking time: mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes and skewered fruit such as apricots, peaches, pineapple, strawberries the Grill Lid must remain up when and kiwis. Remember cooking directly.

For very firm vegetables--particularly potatoes and yams, we recommend that you partially boil until almost cooked, before placing them on the grill. Cooking times using the indirect method with the lid down will be similar to those for your kitchen oven. However, there are many factors such as outside temperature, wind conditions and location of grill that affect your grill performance so we suggest you watch the temperature gauge and adjust the heat accordingly. Cooking times for foods prepared with the direct method will be much shorter mainly because of the direct heat source and softness of the food. Timing will be comparable to normal pan frying or grilling.

preparation

The suggested heat settings shown are approximate. There are many factors such as outside temperature, wind conditions and grill location that affect your grill performance. We offer these cooking times as a convenience, but suggest you watch the temperature gauge and adjust the heat accordingly. Preparing to Roast

Trim meat of excess fat. Truss meat and poultry with cooking string to retain shape if desired. Bacon strips can be used to cover the outside surface of lean meat and poultry to help prevent it from drying out. Another method for keeping food moist during roasting is to put water in a cooking pan, then cover with foil. The foil should be removed for the first or the last part of the cooking time to ensure proper browning. Tips for roasting Except when roasting with water in a roasting pan, the juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for a tasty sauce or gravy. Place a cooking pan directly over the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several spoonfuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add sufficient chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency. Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15 minutes which allows the juices to settle. This will make carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

Roasting uses the indirect cooking method. Therefore, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. You can also use the supplied Cooking Grid with an aluminum drip pan underneath allowing you to collect juices for making gravies. Remember, indirect cooking requires the Lid of your grill to be down. Preheating your grill is not required for slow cooking methods such as roasting. If you do choose to preheat your grill before roasting, turn the Burners on HIGH and close Lid for approximately 2-3 minutes.

Slow Cooking with a Rotisserie

A Rotisserie Kit is made to fit your grill model. Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist, flavorful and attractive. The optional rotisserie system is most commonly used for cooking meat or poultry and is designed to cook food slowly. You can place a cooking pan beneath the food to collect juices for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the cooking pan you may add herbs, onions, or other spices of your choice. The cooking times on a rotisserie the same as for oven cooking. will be approximately

Preparing to Smoke
Smoking gives food a distinctive, delicious flavor. You will find a variety of wood chips or pellets available for use in smoking grilled foods. Pre-soaking of wood chips may be required so read and follow the manufacturers instructions Note: and for preparing smoking that chips many prior to use.

Balancing the Food

In rotisserie cooking, balancing the food is of utmost importance. The rotisserie must turn evenly or the stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook unevenly and possibly burn the heavier side. The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform

Using A Smoker Box

There are many optional smoker boxes available for purchase. Follow these guidelines and always refer to the label of your smoking chips or pellets for specific directions. Raise your Grill Lid and light the grill. Lower the Grill Lid allowing your grill to reach the desired cooking temperature for the food you are grilling. Fill your smoker box with your prepared smoking chips or pellets. Dried herbs and spices may also be added to produce different flavors. Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt and place your smoker box on a Cooking Grid or Savor Plate TM directly above a lit grill Burner. The heated smoking chips or pellets will flavor your foods.

shape and texture. To test if the food is balanced correctly when secured, place the ends of the rotisserie spit loosely in the palms of your hands. If there no tendency to roll, give the spit a quarter turn. If it is still stable, give it a final quarter turn. It should rest without turning in each of these positions. It can then be attached to your grill. Food Preparation

When preparing poultry, truss the birds tightly so that wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird. The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this. Pull the neck skin down and, using a small skewer, fix it to the back of the bird. Push the rotisserie spit through lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Center the bird and tighten with the holding forks. Test the balance as described before. A rolled piece of meat requires the rotisserie skewer to be inserted through the center of the length of meat, then secured and balanced. For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections. protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with pieces of foil.

Tips for Smoking

You can reduce the strength of the smoke flavor by only smoking for half or three quarters of the cooking time. The heat required for smoking is normally LOW to MEDIUM. Foods naturally smoking, while high in oils lend themselves well to drier foods benefit from a marinade.

Tuna steaks, marinated in Asian flavors of sesame oil, soy sauce and sherry. Pork fillets, rubbed with ginger, orange rind and brushed with maple syrup.

Tips for Deep-frying

Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt and slowly lower foods into the hot oil using a wire scoop or stainless steel tongs. Add only a small quantity of food to the oil, allow it to cook, then repeat with another small quantity. This ensures the oil doesn't drop in temperature. Once the food is cooked, remove it carefully and drain onto a paper towel. Turn the heat off as soon as you have finished deep-frying and allow your pan to cool. When the oil is cool, remove all remnants of fried foods by straining it through a fine metal sieve, and store it in a clean bottle for future use.

Tips for Stir-frying

Place a wok on a Cooking Grid or Side Burner directly over a HIGH heat. Add only a small amount of food at a time to ensure fast cooking and also to allow the wok to reheat between ingredients.

Vegetables are generally easy to cook on the grill. The Cooking Rack makes it convenient because you can still use the main cooking area while the vegetables are suspended above the grids. Pre-cook hard vegetables by briefly boiling or microwaving them before cooking on the grill. Wrap vegetables in a double thickness of foil to protect them while cooking on the grill. Then, remove the foil if desired, 10-15 minutes before the end of cooking, brush vegetables with butter or oil and finish cooking.

The Cooking Rack can be used for purposes other than just the obvious. Consider using the rack for warming French bread, garlic bread, croissants or even bagels. A small whole fish wrapped in foil also cooks well on the Cooking Rack. Parcels of seafood such as scallops, prawns and sliced fish fillets prepared in a sauce and portioned into small foil wraps cook well this way, too.

Question: Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?
Answer: No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications and is certified for LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) or NG (Natural Gas) use only. For your safety, conversion kits are not available, nor will we sell or otherwise provide parts or information to be used to convert your grill. Any attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void your warranty. Question: Are the serial and model somewhere for reference?
Answer: The serial and placed silver bowl the model numbers are listed on a silver on the grill on the left shelf, outside grill or

Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my regulator. What causes this? And- My grill has a low flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer: The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not interfere with the operation of your grill. Loud or excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's safety device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess gas flow to your grill. Lighting the main Burner farthest from the fuel source every time will help eliminate air pockets in the manifold. Note: This procedure should be done every time a new LP Gas tank is connected to your grill. [] [] [] [] [] [] Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.

Question: My grill will not light properly. Why?

Answer: Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel source first. This will draw gas across the manifold helping prevent air pockets which obstruct gas-flow and prevent proper grill lighting. Also try this procedure: 1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs OFF. Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry. 2. if your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test of ALL gas connections and gas sources as explained in the Use and Care section of this manual. 3. If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear and repeat the lighting procedure.

Question: If my ignitor or battey is not working how can I light my grill manually? And -Why would I need the silver lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?
Answer: If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs replacing, you can light your grill through the Lighting Hole on the side of the grill bowl using the Manual Lighting Stick that hangs from the side of your grill. The Lighting Stick is designed to hold a paper match and allows you to safely insert a match through the Lighting Hole without getting close to the Burner. Never remove the Cooking Grids or Savor Plates TM and attempt to light the grill from above. To light your gas grill manually, insert a paper match into the Manual Lighting Stick and follow steps 1 through 6 of the Basic Lighting Procedures. Then, light the match and place it through the Lighting Hole on the right side of the grill (location of hole varies by grill model). Turn the nearest main Burner Control Knob to the High setting to release gas. The Burner should light immediately.

Question: Where do I use my grill for safer operation and better performance?
Answer: [] Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the heating and performance of your gas grill so factor in these elements when positioning your grill outdoors for cooking. Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet away from combustible objects that can melt or catch (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences and overhangs) or sources of ignition including lights on water heaters and live electrical appliances.

Question: The Regulator and Hose supplied with my gas grill does not fit the older LP Gas tank I've used for years. Why not?
Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and LP Gas tanks. When regulations are changed the LP Gas tank fittings are altered to insure compliance. If your LP Gas tank does not fit the Regulator and Hose supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1,2002 Gas tanks sold must include an "OPD" Overfill Prevention Device. The their triangular-shaped device prevents the LP Tanks without an OPD Question: What type of pipe and fittings will I need to connect a natural gas grill at my home? Answer: Even if your home is plumbed with a natural gas connection outdoors, there is an additional fitting and piping required to hook up a natural gas grill. Refer to the Natural Gas section of this manual for a diagram of recommended Natural Gas hook-up. Because each home is unique the type and length of fittings will vary. This is a technical process that involves patience and time. The details below will offer guidance but if you feel uncomfortable with this procedure you should seek the assistance of a plumber or gas supply professional. Gas Line Piping: If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet. Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe. Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas. Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use. Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner. Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover. Shut Off Valve:It is highly recommended that a Shut Off Valve be installed at the gas supply source outdoors. Install at a point after the gas pipe exits the outside wall and before the Quick Disconnect Hose, or install it at the point before the gas line piping enters the ground. all LP

(select models) we recommend greasing the Cooking Grids before and after each cookout. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each Cooking Grid. We do not suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire cooking surface including edges and any areas with chipped porcelain.

Question: Which is a better cooking surface to grill on; porcelain coated steel / cast-iron cooking grids or stainless steel grids?
Answer: They all have their advantages. For traditional grilling and searing meats, cast-iron or steel grids offer better heat conductivity. To protect against the natural rusting process, steel or cast-iron cooking grids offer a porcelain finish which requires routine maintenance to keep the grids well seasoned.

Question: Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated cooking grids in the dishwasher?

Answer: Clean your cooking grids by hand if there are any chips or cracks in the porcelain finish and dry them thoroughly. If no chips or cracks are present it should be safe to use the dishwasher. Remember to dry the cooking grids thoroughly before placing back onto your grill to minimize rusting.

offer no claim of grade because what looks shiny on the sales floor could become a problem on your patio. How can you tell if a product is made of 304 grade stainless? Take the simple magnet test. If a magnet sticks to the stainless steel it is 430 grade. If a magnet does not stick you can trust its 304 grade quality.
